Looks great on paper but the people you really need to reach don't have undergrad done. Is this one of those rare masters one can complete with no undergrad done?

No. OMSCS is practically open door compared to other elite CS programs, but an undergrad degree is a strict requirement. It's graduate school.

In fact I don't believe there are any such Master's programs, or at least not accredited ones in the US.

The only example I was aware of was (a now defunct?) masters program by I want to say Oxford, but I haven't been able to turn it up recently.

In any case -- until you have complete undergrad for $5-7k and doable part time, no, these jobs aren't accessible.
